Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAhmad Elsagheer is a Cairo-based software engineer and founder with a decade of experience building high-scale marketplaces and developer tools. He co-founded Nexplore after leading R&D at Swvl, where he helped scale the platform to 200K+ bookings per day and designed core optimization algorithms for routing, demand estimation, and dynamic matching. He’s held senior engineering roles at multiple startups and taught algorithms at the German University in Cairo, reflecting a blend of hands-on systems design and mentorship. An active competitive programmer, Ahmad maintains a well-used algorithms library on GitHub that implements graph algorithms, flows, and numerical utilities—evidence of his deep algorithmic rigor. Colleagues describe him as a builder who moves between startup strategy and low-level algorithm design, often coding late into the night to ship pragmatic solutions.
